Pilgrim Gentleman Counted Cross Stitch Figure Kit

In 1620, 102 colonists sailed from England on the ship, Mayflower, arriving at Cape Code on November 9. Some were members of a reformed church which had split off from the Church of England, called Separatists. Others were men and women who came searching for a better life. After weeks of exploration, they chose a site which is today Plymouth, Massachusetts. Here the colonists built houses, farmed and raised their families. In the next three years other ships arrived bringing more settlers. Today we know these early Plymouth colonists as the Pilgrims.
